"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart," says the LORD"

(Jeremiah 1:5).

While discussing our uniqueness, Curtis was quick to say, "Well, God made me one of a kind". He certainly did, and we wouldn't want to change a thing! We are so thankful beyond words, that God has entrusted us with four wonderful "one of a kind" children. We are blessed to be able to celebrate 7 birthdays with Curtis. He's growing up way to fast; he was my baby for 6 years and he will always be my baby! Happy 7th birthday, Curtis!!

"Jesus said, 'If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed'" (John 8:36).

After a wonderful/exciting/adventurous week visiting our nation's capital, I am truly reminded of our blessing of freedom. I am so thankful that we live in a free country, but also that through the blood of Christ Jesus, I have been set free!

Continuing to give thanks and reflecting on our recent trip...#1779-1801

"But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions- it is by grace you have been saved"

(Ephesians 2:4-5)

Nicole's week at horse camp...

"Saddle up your horses we've got a trail to blazeThrough the wild blue yonder of God's amazing graceLet's follow our leader into the glorious unknownThis is a life like no other - this is The Great Adventure"

Started out this morning in the usual wayChasing thoughts inside my head of all I had to do todayAnother time around the circle try to make it better than the last

I opened up the Bible and I read about meSaid I'd been a prisoner and God's grace had set me freeAnd somewhere between the pages it hit me like a lightning boltI saw a big frontier in front of me and I heard somebody say "let's go"!

[Chorus:]Saddle up your horses we've got a trail to blazeThrough the wild blue yonder of God's amazing graceLet's follow our leader into the glorious unknownThis is a life like no other - this is The Great Adventure

Come on get ready for the ride of your lifeGonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behindAnd discover all the new horizons just waiting to be exploredThis is what we were created for

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]We'll travel over, over mountains so highWe'll go through valleys belowStill through it all we'll find thatThis is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever seeThe love of God will take us far beyond our wildest dreams

About Me

I am a worker of the home, who has been blessed with 5 wonderful children! I try to relate every day life back to the Creator through my simplistic writing. I am a daughter of Christ, and it is my goal and my desire to strive to glorify Him in all I do and say. I am so grateful for His grace and mercy because I fail so often. I have been very blessed with a wonderful husband of 22 years!
